The Very Scary Halloween Challenge



Recommended Posts

JulieG (nu2ywg) checking in and very happy that I didn't run and hide over the almost 2 lb I gained in the first two weeks of the challenge. This week I lost 5 lb and am at 201 lb. I am so close to onederland and can almost taste it!!! I'm three pounds from my goal for October but honestly, as long as I get to onederland I will be thrilled.

Did any of you have any specific rewards you treated yourself too when you hit onederland? Just trying to plan ahead and since this is such a major deal for me it will give me something to think about. :D

Well I stayed at 238 this week- so I guess that makes sense after 7 pounds LAST week!

So 238 still! :angry:

Good Saturday afternoon to everyone, been out to thrift stores today looking for new clothes. I actually bought an extra large shirt today, granted it was a large extra large, but the tag still said it was an flippin' X-Large. Quite a change from the 4X I was wearing a year ago. Weighed in this morning at 253.5, that's 2.5 down from last week. Need 3.5 lbs next week to reach my goal.

"Monster" Mash May heading in the other direction again - HOW SCARY! Up to 159.4! Since returning from a get away weekend with the hubby last week I haven't been good about tracking my food or keeping up my Liquid Protein. It just goes to show you how the weight can creep up in no time, even with exercise. It's a lot of work on our part to make sure all plates are spinning to make sure one doesn't fall. One more week - keep up the great work!

I love going to my favorite thrift store and was there Friday, as a matter of fact. Great job on the X large shirt!

I am checking in at 180.6, that is 1# down for the week. I am pleased with that!

I went to costco Friday and bought a pair of size 12 pants. I had to take them home since they don't have dressing rooms and they fit! I was thrilled!

I hope your weekend is going great!!!

Okay, I havent lost any weight, and gained a pound this week. I'm hoping because its that TOM. My fill has not kicked in and tomorrow will be 2 weeks, so Im guessing maybe its not going to. I am doing Zumba 2-3 times a week, treadmill 2 days a week, strength training 2 days a week. I have got to try and step it up. I want to have some loss before next Saturday.

So, Im checking in at 168.5 (+1) :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
